According to Article 25 of the Regulations on the Administration of Foundations, fundraising and accepting donations shall conform to the purpose stipulated in the articles of association and the business scope of public welfare activities. In other words, whether it is a public foundation or a non-public foundation, fundraising must strictly follow the provisions of the articles of association and purpose.

As for how to understand that it is not allowed to raise money from the public, we believe that it is not allowed for the public, that is, unspecified third parties and non-public fundraising foundations to directly raise money from the public in public places, such as conducting charity competitions, charity performances, charity bazaars and charity exhibitions. , and publish fundraising advertisements or news on public media and the Internet. However, it is not excluded that non-public offering foundations accept donations from unspecified groups in society (such as special "auctions").

With the development of science and technology, more and more financing methods have emerged, such as WeChat, Weibo and websites. So far, there is no clear legal provision in this part. On October 24th, 2065438+2004165438+/KLOC-0, the State Council issued "Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Healthy Development of Philanthropy", in which it was mentioned that charitable organizations that are not qualified for public offering must join with organizations that are qualified for public offering to carry out fund-raising activities in the name of charity. Therefore, judging from the current policy opinions, it is strictly forbidden for non-public offering foundations to raise funds to the public, and it is not allowed to raise funds privately through Internet means such as WeChat and Weibo. If necessary, it can be combined with a foundation with public offering qualification.

The financing channels of non-public offering foundations include raising funds from specific individuals, enterprises and organizations, which is the traditional way. Then for non-Public Offering of Fund, there are some new ways to raise funds. "Cooperative fund-raising" means setting up a special fund (individuals, enterprises or organizations, aiming at a certain project or a certain group, set up a special fund within the foundation, which is staffed by full-time staff and earmarked, and the foundation collects a certain management fee). For example, take a special performance, auction, invite specific personnel, and raise funds afterwards. These are the channels for non-public offering foundations to raise funds according to the current domestic laws.
